The Majority is Wrong

The following is true in a way that can't be untrue. The Majority of humans are wrong = super interesting. Worth the time to think about and if you catch it, the output is functional = shifts perspective.

The Majority can't be right

It's impossible. A mental visual of momentum and speed is. Speed = movement. Movement = time delay. Time delay = inconsistencies and variance.

What's universally accepted is old information. Old information is outdated and doesn't include new information or its dependent implications.

The Majority is using Old info

Picture a bell curve of all human understanding. Doesn't matter if we're talking science, culture, history... etc. It's the same conclusion regardless of where I apply this logic. The majority has to be wrong. No way around it and it's a bit of a letdown.

It's wrong if everyone agrees

Interesting to think about. Now that I know the majority has to be wrong (impossible to not be true), the next step outputs a perspective shift. Example: if the majority agrees = it's wrong. Kicker: if the minority agrees = it's wrong.

The Minority is wrong too

The minority doesn't have enough confirmation to reach a conclusion that should be accepted by the majority. The measure or the delta between minority and majority is logistical and strategic = not a measure of correctness. Example: email campaign > understanding.

This is interesting x10

If the majority and minority are both wrong at all times and in super easy-to-prove ways, why do humans naturally skew toward a majority opinion = free up brain cycles = it's just easier. It's not a proof of correctness or incorrectness.

Why do we follow majorities?

Because it's easier. Humans skew toward the path of least resistance and if a bunch of people sound confident, we skew toward it by default. Any other path = more resistance (example: new learning, experience, resources..etc).

Those with kids and 60-hour-a-week jobs are less likely to search the Cosmos for answers to little, not immediately important questions, "looks like they know what they're talking about = good enough" = is actually, factually good enough.

Correctness of the Majority is not required.
